Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The article presents a demographic analysis of a peasant family in a village near Moscow hndin the period of the War of 1812. The subject hardly has been studied in the historical literature. Source base of this study were the documents extracted from the funds of the Central Historical Archive in Moscow. Statistical processing was performed for massive public documents and records of the church: revision lists, confessional and metric sheets (books). In them there is the nominal composition of residents of the yard, their age, family relationship. The object of the study was medium and large landed estates of Moscow and Zvenigorod district - the village of Fili and Mazilovo A.I. and D.I. Naryshkin and Selco Zakharovo of H.I. Kozlova. All three of the villages for nearly two months were occupied by French troops. On the basis of a systematic scientific approach addressed are issues such as the population of the yard, the composition and structure of the family, its human resources and typology, the moral values of the peasants in the extreme conditions of life. These issues are analyzed by comparing the key demographic indicators as the pre-war and post-war periods. These data indicate a deep demographic crisis peasant family near Moscow after the war of 1812, sharply increased mortality, reduced working capacity, the number of widows, widowers, orphans, deserted courtyards. According to the documents, only the preservation of spiritual and moral traditions, mutual aid, charity-related debt, aid from the rural world, the state and landowners have allowed farmers to survive and keep many families. But restoring the normal functioning of rural families in these settlements occurs only in the second half of the 20-s and early 30-s of 19 century. The results can be used in the formation of information base of research on Russian history and historical demography.

Keywords:

Введение. Проблема положения семьи, как основной экономической и социальной ячейки человеческого социума, имеет особую научную и практическую значимость. Успешное разрешение острейших семейно-брачных отношений (их деформация, дефицит духовных ценностей и т. п.), возникших в современном российском обществе, неразрывно связано с изучением демографических особенностей нашего Отечества в прошлом. Рассмотрение истории нравственных традиций народов России является приоритетным научным направлением фундаментальных исследований Российской академии наук [8].

 

Вопросы, связанные с низкой рождаемостью и высокой смертностью, общественной значимостью семьи, ее типологией, были в центре внимания российских историков и демографов на протяжении XIX-начала XXI вв. [5]. Общие методологические и теоретические исследования семейно-брачных отношений в России нашли отражение в отечественной [1, 4, 11] и зарубежной [18, 19, 20, 22] историографии. Отметим, что в современной российской исторической науке усиливается интерес к западноевропейским методологическим подходам в области микроистории, «моральной экономики», социальной и культурной истории [2, 9, 16].

 

В то же время в современной российской историографии заметна явная неравномерность при рассмотрении истории семьи в социальном
